Whilst players like Dwight Howard are amazing shot blockers, their shot shot blocking ability is mainly used as help defense.

Maybe in the match engine to reflect shot blocking, maybe adding in a line such as:

Player1 drives to the hoop closely guarded by Player2. Player 3 steps out to help! Shot missed!

Players with high shot blocking would step up to help alter the shot. Sometimes they will block, sometimes they will alter the shot. I think it would add some value to shot block, too often people think shot block should lead to direct increase in shot blocks per game, but in reality a shot blocker alters more shots just by being there than actually blocking shots.

perhaps, it would slightly help team in 4th to have a better finance, but a better way to solve issue is to add in bonus to the league winner in the main league of the nation.

That would be OK, but now you have 0$ from winning the 1st League, and now they took from you 400-500k more in the playoffs..
That's the award for be the best in your country..

Mr. Patrick.........I have a question............


of pertaining to the fan survey.......what will you do to improve it? Will you improve it? I'm asking this because this issue has been around for a long time. Like for instance.....


You're the underdog team going to play against one of the best teams in the League. Your players play the hardest, fight to the very very end, and lose by 1 in OT..........


Normally, a real fan would say, "This team played their hardest tonight. I compliment of how they fought to the very last second man......I thought they'd get smacked tonight. But this? WOW! Good job, Good Effort!" And would probably give them a "3" in the fan survey..........

right now, it's like this: "WHAT!?" yall lose? What the world is going on? You were supposed to win. Play for the win! I don't like loses. This is stupid. If you guys ain't gonna win a game, I won't support you" and give you a "1" in the fan survey, -_-

The fan survey also (I think) predicts how many fans will come to your next game........and well what do you think? Will more fans come after a win, or after a heartbreakening loss? Obliviously right now, people would go to watch teams play after they win, but in real life, if they seen a team fight their hardest.........shouldn't they go? I mean I can make more situations then this one, and right now this fan survey is messed up.


So back to the question: What will you do to improve the quality of the fan survey?

That and a shiny cartoon trophy on your team page that hardly anyone ever looks at!

Fan survey should be more like enthusiasm as far as moving around.
Balls start at 3 (average to start the year).

Big win ~ t.i.e. Balls go up maybe +1.
So-so win ~ normal. Balls go up +.5 or stay the same.
So-so loss ~ normal. Balls go down -.5 or stay the same.
Bad loss/upset by weaker team ~ crunch. Balls go down -1.

Stop these huge swings of a narrow win = 5 balls but a narrow loss = 1 ball. It is unrealistic even for an at times unrealistic game.

Simply and fast:
Have u considered revaluating of JR and SB? Just simple new salary formula could solve LI dominating=more new game options=more new discovering=more fun etc.?
thanks

you read my thoughts:) I would formulate the question a little differently: have you considered reevaluating the salary or even cap formula for JR and SB, because, like you can see, they are just few managers that train SB and it's a pity...

Thanks!

Hey BB's, first of all, I really liked the Achievements Idea. I am a collector in nature, and sometimes I find collecting flags to be even for fun and challenging than competing. I think you should add some major achievements to be shown on the profile of the teams that get them, something that will show, something to brag about. Maybe it can be a little something special everytime someone makes it through all the achievements in a catagory.

About the price changes, I think it has been overdiscussed before the change, and I dont think any change would be accepted unanimously, as expeted of such a big community.

What I would like to offer, and I'm sure you guys have brought this up more than once, is an Iphone/Android app.
It's not a huge issue in Android really, but in iphone, it's extremely hard to make it so that you can watch a game live.
Flash, as you know, is a no-no in apple, but some companies are able to make it work in certain apps. I've seen it in many apps of big companies, such as the NBA app for example. I would really like to have an app that would make my experiance of BB more mobile. Some people are rarely home and manage a lot of their computer affairs through their smartphones, I think BB should step up to that level.

Draft should be much more benefitial in my eyes, the fact that most teams that invest in their draft get complete and utter scrubs that can hardly be a potential to compete in high levels, make those teams rethink in putting their money there. Some teams even give up the draft for good, I've seen it more times than not. It came to a situation where teams that train young players usually do so as an agenda, giving up being competitive in the process. I dont suggest a complete reform in draft and scouting, just boosting up the probability of a good player with nice potential being picked. Good potential players sometimes go to waste with bot teams or teams that have no use in the player and doesn't know it's value.

I have also brought up a suggestion regarding the cup, and I'll be more than happy if you guys read it, I think it can work out as a great feature, and not too difficult to implement.
